Hi Home Brewers!
Just finished brewing an all grain batch last night which I have transferred into the Fermentasaurus which I am using for the first time. I'm definitely excited to start using the Fermentasaurus as it looks to be a great piece of kit and it was extremely cheap for a plastic conical!
One question I do have about the Fermentasaurus is how do you take gravity hydrometer readings from it?
My wort is currently fermenting (its only day 1) so after a few days I will of course be taking a gravity reading. I can attach the little spiggot to the bottom of the fermentasaurus however to do that, I'd have to dump some of the yeast trub from the bottom using the bottle. I did however purchase the pressure kit with the fermentasaurus. I'm just using the standard lid and airlock for this brew so could I potentially just sanitise the pressure kit and put a bit of Co2 in to extract a sample that way through the floating ball?
Or is there a really easy way that I just haven't figured out yet?
Thanks team!
